To Kiss the World Through a Veil of Lead

Nonlocality

You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here. You are here.

Your consciousness is an endless plain: your consciousness covers every point in the universe simultaneously. You are here. Here is everywhere, you are everywhere; your mind blankets everything. You are here.

Acid droplets fall from the sky of a rock in a distant solar system; you can see the burnt dark blotches multiplying on the surface of a yellow stone. You are here.

You see the convection of fused materials close to a star's core. You move to the innards of a cluster of carbon molecules moving around another planet orbiting another star. You are there. You are here.

You are here. Here is everywhere, here does not exist; here is there, here exists and it is as big as everything.

In the blink of an eye you are in a cave of hydrogen ice; watching the impeding doom of a planet as it plunges in its sun; water freezing as night falls on a planet in another galaxy; the birth of a star, the death of another. You are here. Chemical reactions going haywire, beings made out of energy fizzing away into nothingness; and nothingness itself, outside the limits of the universe. You are there.

You do not know what you are, you do not know where you are, where your body is — if you have a body. You believe you had it, once, but how to find it in the infinite vastness of all that exists? There, there. It is here; you are here.
